This Master's Degree will provide a rigorous and up-to-date overview of the theoretical and practical foundations that underpin the relationship between the brain and learning. Throughout specialized modules, professionals will deepen their understanding of the principles of Neuroscience and Neuropsychology, exploring key topics such as multiple intelligences, giftedness, and learning disorders. In addition, participants will develop the skills necessary to design and implement neuropsychological intervention programs, analyze neurolinguistic processes, and apply innovative educational methodologies.
You will accurately assess the neuropsychological profile of children and adolescents within the educational environment”
